The term "Israelis" refers to the inhabitants of the State of Israel. However, this collection concentrates on the cultures of the Jewish inhabitants; cultural data on Israeli Arabs will be found in the Palestinians (M013) collection. The State of Israel, established in 1948, is located on the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea. Neighboring states include Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Egypt. Languages spoken by the Israelis include Hebrew (the official language), Arabic (used mostly by Arab minorities), and English. The economy is based on high-tech design and manufactures. Agricultural production focuses on growing crops, for example, fruits, mostly for sale and export.
